You’ve mentioned the use of cinematic visual language isn’t always your thing in comics, which I totally understand. I’m just curious if you had an example of a book or artist that utilized the mediums potential beyond that style? “The Stroll” by Dan Clowes is an example that came to my mind

Haha. I think my opinion started probably with the ultimates always going for that cinematic feel. Minimalist dialogue, no thought ballons or sound effects. I’m not opposed to big dynamic art. Maybe I need to reassess my pov?

@ Oh I wouldn’t say that, I may have come off more critical than I meant to haha. Let me rephrase. I guess what I wanted to know is what “comic book’y”elements are most effective to you, and is there a book or artist you think uses them effectively?

I've been buying all the Amazing Spider-man facsimile editions, so I've been paying close attention to their releases. In a truly confusing move, Marvel did not publish facsimile editions for the first parts of this story. You haven't missed anything. This is a stand-alone facsimile edition issue.

The way they write dialog it makes you wonder if some of these writers have actual conversations with people at all. A lot of these books need to get back to show don't tell and cut down on the "slice of life" issues. Great review btw.

Has the concept of Superman being solar powered been done like this before? Like a battery that gets depleted over time and needs to recharge. Feels like an obvious limitation to explore, surprised I we haven’t seen it done sooner. Weakest of the bunch but not a bad read, lots of potential. Thanks for the upload I’m enjoying your content lately!

You would think that it has been done given the nature of his power. I agree it’s got a lot of potential. I think it will get better once the focus is more on Kal.
